Thank you very much. Time and effort went into those too.

I would hope not, that would allow height-fields. Isosurfaces would allow 
elaborate fractals. Bezier prisms would allow vector art. Blobs would allow 
... blobs.
At least those four should be excluded, I think.

To the best of my knowledge, as long as POV-Ray's been around, TOR is the 
only one to have posted Villarceau circles, and I was only recently the 
first to post something like the recent 'CSG Challenge' shape. I think 
there's still plenty of room to explore "normal" CSG.
